"A Hawaiian comfort-food spot that started in Minneapolis’s North Loop Galley food hall is opening a second location inside the United Noodles marketplace at 2015 E. 24th St.; the new counter will offer both takeout and dine-in service with seating for about 40. Ono Hawaiian Plates — co-owned by chef Warren Seta and Jess Kelley — will bring several staples to the new menu, including garlic shrimp, kalbi short ribs, Hawaiian barbecue chicken, and luau bowls with ahi poke and kalua pork, while also adding new items such as nori-wrapped Spam musubi and sesame chicken bowls. The owners hope to open in late August, with dine-in hours planned for 11 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday and takeout available until the market closes at 8 p.m.; the duo also plans to set up shop in the Lunds & Byerlys deli in St. Paul’s Highland Park in October." - Justine Jones
